A standard inspection referred to as a Level 1 inspection is a visual evaluation without the use of any type of special tools. A technician will examine all the basic structures that are accessible with a hand held light to make certain that there is no damage or wear and tear. They will also check to see to it there is nothing blocking the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have never had any problems in the past with normal use of your fireplace, this is the suggested inspection.
An advanced inspection, or Level 2 inspection, is much more detailed. This will consist of everything that is carried out with a fundamental inspection with the addition of a electronic camera or other tool to inspect the whole flue as well as inner chimney structure. It would also include an inspection of the attic and also any locations surrounding the chimney.
A Level 2 inspection is the type of evaluation done during a property deal for the sale or purchase of a residential property. It's also suggested if you have had recent damage, quakes, chimney fires, or any event which might have affected the structure of the chimney. If you're preparing to have a chimney relining or you have actually made a great deal of adjustments in the way you utilize your fire place, then the more extensive assessment is also advised.
A Level 3 inspection consists of all the assessments carried out in Level 1 and 2 inspections, but also consists of the removal of portions of the chimney or building like the chimney crown or masonry. This type of inspection is only performed in extreme circumstances when it is absolutely needed in order to verify the security of the chimney.
The National Fire Protection Association suggests that at minimum a Level 1 inspection be performed yearly and maintained as needed.
